Toast Chris Masten

[BradWCE]

The clock is ticking down quickly to Masten crabbing it up again, I am in no doubt about his ability but his problems are inside his head sadly.

Is it dark in there?

I think the clock is ticking down quickly on spEKTre making a fool of himself again

 

[keviewiggle]

Lets hope he gets a chance to win a Norm Smith.

Sometimes I question whether you even support the eagles.
All you seem to do is come in and rubbish players or coaching staff that you have predisposed and unwavering contempt for.

Just because I'm not a fan like yourself and Go Eagles doesn't mean I don't love this club mate. If you knew me personally you would realize I am an AFL fan first and Eagles fan second...live with it.

Just re-watched some of the game v Adelaide and geez, his hands were so clean and quick...Craig Lambert/Adrian Fletcher like on Saturday. Loved his quick and tireless breaks away from stoppages that night too.

Seeing the player most rated so highly back in 2007 now....Has to maintain it.

Thats the entire reason he was drafted - he was the best inside mid outside of Cotchin - feed palmer the ball all through the u18 champs problem is we also have priddis and Kerr so he has to play on the rotation or second to these guys, though he struggles with other roles he is learning

If you love the club then why is most of what you post scathing comments and speculation about Eagles players? Why do you go out of your way to criticise?
Jesus, i've met Freo fans with more positive things to say about the club and its players.
I'm glad I don't know you personally, but I can imagine you booing players from the bleachers and waiting anxiously for an opportunity to justify your petty, narrow minded obsessions with players that for one reason or another, you just plain dislike.

Like how the banner this week had a litte "Congrats Masto on 51 games" sticky taped down the bottom

pics?

Talk about personal mate !!!! and while we are on it...I am glad I don't know you personally either. You would be the kind of Tragic Fan who wears rose tinted glasses no matter the situation.

I think beatlesmith has balanced and reasonable views on the club and its players. spEKTre is just negative, clearly has an issue with the world.

So not being a cynical twat and having vendettas against players makes me a tragic wearing rose coloured glasses? Right.
I have no problem dishing out criticism when the criticism is warranted. I admit I didn't think Embley, Nicoski and Lynch had productive futures at the club after last season but I am glad to be proved wrong. I'm not going to hold on to that previous opinion because I now see that it was erroneous. And because i'm not a bitter flog. Good day.

Nah wasn't quick enough.

Basically it was the normal banner but in little lettering on the bottom left hand corner of the side the players come from, they'd sticky taped in a really dodgey made, tiny 51 games congrats to masto. Did lol

 

[nameless]

Just imagine if Masten lit up tomorrow, 2-3 goals, quick hands out of contests, smashing his opponent for endurance.

Endurance players are king, i loved listening to Kerry talk about the Adelaide Prelim where he said 20 points was nothing, he knew they could over run them, that's why Masto could be an absolute freak, because he has that capacity to run all day like Cous.

Sorry to jump on your board guys.
I was at the game last night and couldn't get over the amount of supporters giving Chris $hit, calling out "tradebait", "Fletcher Two" when he picked up the ball or groaning if he came out with the pill instead of the all damaging Priddis.
I really don't get it, the kid came to you in 08 with OP and clearly had no depth in his kick or pace in his run.
He could barely walk at the end of the season before surgery.
He showed plenty in the 10 odd games he strung together in 09, that Adelaide game with 38 touches before doing his knee/hip?? in the North Melbourne game and I felt he was BOG during the Derby McPhee took out his knee before half time in 10 and I'm a dockers supporter!
I watched him in the 06/07 U18's and I'd have swapped him for Palmer the day after Rhys won the rising star, I just don't understand the hate you guys have for him? Is it because he didn't have an immediate impact? doubled by the couple of bad years?
And I can't work out how as supporters you'd stoop to name calling at the game and on this board for one of your players?
You know this 'spud', 'knob', 'tradebait' has as many carear goals as Priddis! and that's coming off as a sub, injured, bad years and with a handful of games compared to Matt!!!
I know Matt's not Chris Judd, but I really don't get, after an amazing year from you guys and 3 out of 4 stellar games by Chris (I'm counting his sub performances) why your supporters would feel compelled to put $hit on the guy.
I've met Chris on a several occasions and as an opposition supporter can state, he's a really genuine, down to earth guy, actually got to say so is Shuey and Scott Selwood, you guys really scored....
Hey but if your still not sure, we can offer Johnson as a straight swap!

Gotta agree....except for the Johnson bit.

Gotta agree....except for the Johnson bit.

Hell, I agree with this whole post.

 

[INSANE]

I also met him, at an Intra Club game. I'm with you, he seemed quite a nice bloke, even a bit shy in my presence..Understandable though.

 

[GO EAGLES]

as Glen Jakovich perfectly described Masten as a player with all the tricks but still too light (a few weeks ago), it is just a matter of time before he fills out with age and everything gets more solid.

The last few weeks he looked more physically mature and when he is able to not get knocked off the ball, watch out.

If he plays to his potential every week , therefore balancing his mo with a beard he is definitely AA material in the next few years.

 

[Winky]

Oh shit! If Jako is on his side I must be wrong. Good player Jako but probably the worst "expert" commentator ever. But then again as you love crazy angles you would have loved Jako who always ran angles towards the boundaries and hardly ever ran straight.
